"Hey, Mom? Mom? Who broke this flashlight?"

"It's broken?"

"Yeah, it just did. Who broke it, Mom?"

"I'm guessing you did."

"Well, I didn't see me do it."

"Were your eyes closed?"

"Sort of, probably."

  1. I have 7th graders who would use this same logic.....
    Sometimes they don't change much as they age. :)

  3. My kids would have just stuck it in the drawer and pretended they were never using it.

  6. Jacob did it! Oh, wait. That's just what Jaxon says when he's guilty. You don't have a Jacob, do you.

  7. Duh, it was dark when the flashlight broke. There's no way he could have seen himself do it. haha

  8. Another reason Bob is my leader. Proper assessment of blame.

    Come to think of it- I haven't ever really SEEN myself do any of the things I feel badly for.

    Thank you Bob. My heart feels lighter
